Sieg SC3 Tacho Socket

[Nick Clarke 3Participant @nickclarke3]

Does anyone know what the socket on the top of the SC3 lathe is?

It is not a DIN in the normal sense as a seven pin DIN has smaller diameter pins and is a different layout, although it might be made to another DIN standard.

All help appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick

What is the plug?

Can you come up with a picture? There are a number of electrical engineers on the forum who might have a clue but the chances of them having a SC3 are slim.

Although i don't have an answer for Nick, I fail to understand the logic behind the presumption why 'the chances of them having a SC3 are slim'.

A small percentage of members are electrical engineers. A small percentage of members have an SC3. A small percentage of a small percentage is slim. Does not sound unreasonable assumption to me and does not sound like he is criticising the machine.

30 secs on Google and its a 7 pin GX16 on the SC2 and the Sieg wiring can be found too, assume SC3 the same

Thanks Jason – I found several references to the socket but all referred to it as a DIN socket which it clearly isn't!

After a few incorrect hits I thought it more effective to ask the forum.

Even the MacPod website that describes the connections and protocol in detail got this wrong.

Thanks again,

Nick

I see and understand that logic Martin. I didn’t say he was criticising the machine, but I can see now that his message could have been perceived as such, now that you mention it.

I just thought that perhaps Bazyl knew something I didn’t so I questioned his logic. There are too many presumptions going on, on this forum off late.

So, adding to the same, as far as the SC3 is concerned, a good percentage of users have electronic engineering as their background, and prefer it, from an electrical point of view, with its brushless motor and control board, compared to other brushless and non-brushless models out there. Many of them are members on this forum, and many choose not to participate in discussions.
